Sai Palki

Sai Palki is a revered religious rite in Sai Baba's honor. Sai Baba's idol or portrait is carried by a gorgeously decorated palanquin as admirers sing bhajans and profess their love. Moving through the streets or temple grounds, the Palki which is decked with vivid flowers and colorful draperies, calls blessings from Sai Baba's heavenly presence. This joyful event promotes spirituality and fellowship among followers, inspiring fervor and intense devotion and resulting in a spiritually uplifting experience.

Since, Palki is a sign of regal paraphernalia, and Sai Baba is 'Ananta Koti Brahmanda Nayaka', Raghuvir Bhaskar Purandare, an ardent devotee, wished that Baba should be taken in a majestic palanquin procession, fit for the Master of the Universe.
